Native Instruments Komplete 14 released: Kontakt 7 and Choir: Omnia
NI Komplete 14 : Kontakt 7, iZotope Ozone 10 and Plugin Alliance products join music software mega-bundle.
Native Instruments has released a major update to its flagship production suite, KOMPLETE 14. The just-released Komplete 14 faces some stiff competition with more companies now offering their own cost-effective collections, and subscription services also vying for our attention.
Looks like, Native Instruments is pinning its hopes on Kontakt 7, a new version of the venerable software sampler, and the inclusion of products from some of its Soundwide partners – iZotope and Plugin Alliance.
The Standard version of iZotope’s new Ozone 10 mastering suite, for example, is included in the Standard, Ultimate and Collector’s Edition versions of Komplete 14, assists in putting the finishing touches on any production.
More new additions come via an array of synths and effects from Plugin Alliance and Brainworx, as well as the CHOIR: OMNIA sample library, included in the KOMPLETE 14 COLLECTOR’S EDITION.
KOMPLETE 14 is available in four different sizes – SELECT, STANDARD, ULTIMATE, and COLLECTOR’S EDITION, the last being a comprehensive offering of 145+ instruments, 100+ Expansions, and over 135,000 sounds.
In addition, you’ll get the granular and cinematic Ashlight, the dramatic Action Strings 2, the organic sample and sequencing power of Sequis and new Session Guitarist and Bassist instruments. NI’s Play Series titles and Playbox are included.
KONTAKT 7 is the next evolution of the world’s favourite sampler. Included with KOMPLETE 14 STANDARD and above. New features will include a new HiDPI browsing experience, an overhauled factory library, new creative effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements.
KOMPLETE 14 is available now, while KONTAKT 7 and CHOIR: OMNIA will be available as separate products from October 4th, 2022, all at the Native Instruments online shop.
All four versions of Komplete 14 are available now, with prices as follows: Select, $199/£179; Standard, $599/£539; Ultimate, $1,199/£1,079; Collector’s Edition, $1,799/£1,619. Upgrade prices for existing users are also being offered. Kontakt 7, $299/£269
